The Union for Gender Empowerment is a trans-positive feminist organization centering the following anti-oppressive values: anti-racism, anti-colonialism, anti-ableism, anti-capitalism, harm reduction, and solidarity. We provide resources, education, and a space for anti-oppressive trans-positive feminist advocacy. Consistent with the historical mandate of the UGE, our services are provided regardless of gender or student status. We operate by consensus, striving to equally empower our members. In line with our anti-colonial values, we support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people. We recognize that we benefit from McGill’s colonial dispossession and its fiscal debt to the Six Nations. We therefore believe it to be particularly important to support anti-colonial resistance at McGill, where we operate.
